RICHARD GERE IS MY HERO is a film about four exile friends who lives in Mcleod Ganj, India, the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile, headed by the Dalai Lama. Nyima, one of the friends is a diehard fan of the Hollywood star, Richard Gere and wanted to become a great actor himself. He wishes to follow the footsteps of his icon to do something meaningful for his home country, Tibet and awaits Richard Gere's arrival in the town. The film is shot entirely in and around Dharamshala.
"Film is indeed one of the most powerful tools to highlight issues of any kind. On behalf of the Tibetan Cabinet, let me congratulate the team for making notable films like 'Richard Gere is my hero', Phun Anu Thanu – two exile brothers' and 'Democracy in Exile'."
— Professor Samdhong Rinpoche, Tibetan Prime Minister
